What's new

Spoiler Thread. People officially have the game already (NO STORY SPOILERS)

Only 1 week to go and it looks like it's a reasonable time for the flood gates to be open.

The other spoiler thread was locked so I think it's a good time to make one again where people could post their spoilers.

I wonder if we're gonna see any significant changes to frame data as well. 'Cause speaking as a Skarlet main, some of her specials in the beta were pretty poo compared to what they replaced.

And beta Scorpion without Misery Blade? Big oof.
They have too, Kitana has Bae frames on her mids and lows 13 frame low can you say unreactable?

Kabal has Garbo loadout. Low Buzzsaw, Restand(good) and low Hook(good) but neither variations have the anti air Hook grab combo extender which means all those combos are gone if those are his actual variations!

Scorpion has no Misery Blade.

Noob has his air sickle grab and ghost ball but doesn't have overhead clone for combos.
We will see how he plays.

D'Vorah looks good

Liu Kang looks Broke AF. He has Fire Buff plus teleport 50/50 and projectile absorb and his other loadout has low fireball, Shaolin stance(50/50 corner carry), and parry. He has base 50/50s on top of all that that juggle without meter. I'm definitely going to use him in certain matchups.

Cassie is lacking in vars
But we shall see.

Sub Zero has dumb moves I hope his frame data is updated. I felt his moves where slow and kinda lackluster as we seen other characters later on.

Raiden doesn't have combo but a Teleport var??

I'm not sure about this guy's, it seems like many of us might have to pick different characters just to be tournament viable. Some are good to go but I hope they add more Variations soon so we have our loadouts that fit us.

Kitana is Bae AF and will be my pocket/main for sure. Half-Blood Emperess baby, bringing Sexy Back(Sai's and Telekicks and Sektor up missles) and it's one slot lmao. Her royalty costume looks unbelievable!

I'm very excited and can't believe it's only 7 days till launch.
 
@Evil Canadian

I know it might be a ridiculous ask, but do you think you could have him take a picture of absolutely all of Kano's moveset for the Rotten Scoundrel variation so I could jot down the frame data?

I wish he could just make a video of him scrolling through the pages, ugh! I'm dying here man.
I can basically guarantee you none of the frame data will be final until the day 1 patch hits. Plus frame data would involve highlighting every single move on the list which would be like 60 pictures so that's probably a bit much for dude
 
Because we saw Kitana variation in stream and it's not in the game the leaker is posting. Games are burned to disks before development is ready to ship them accross the world. That's why we have day one patches. The game leaker is playing is not finished.
Ok my bad I get what you are saying now. In the stream they said stuff like “this is one of the tournament variations.” And if it’s not in the game then it means they are prob dif.
 
Can he show off any of Frost's other costumes/gear? I'm dying here.
He doesn't have frost unlocked. The trophy server isn't live* and he can't actually unlock her without the according trophy. He has already beaten chapter 4.

*this is normal for pre-release games, I had doa6 for about 2 weeks before it went live thanks to team ninja and I couldn't get any trophies until the day before launch

I thought he couldn't play the Story Mode. Good to know. Ughhhhhhh it makes even worse I might not get my copy on April 24th

This is actually an excellent deterrent by producers, LOL. It's almost like having 3/4 of a game.
 
Reactions: Zev
Lol the Tournament stage. Neat.

Who was it that wanted a Shirai Ryu stage? Looks like you finally got what you wanted! :)



Interesting that there are locked stages. I'm willing to bet that one of them is the Rooftop stage that Ed teased.
3 Hourglass Stages is kinda weak it looks like you can unlock the Good (Edinia) and Evil (NetherRealm) Stages

That sucks, can he unlock gear for characters that are already useable?

Yes can we get frame data for the following:
Pokes, mix-ups and best mids

Kitana
Cassie
Kabal
Kotal
Shao Khan
Frost
D'Vorah
Kollector
Cetrion
Liu Kang ( his B2 overhead and low kicks, pokes)
Lao
Sub Zero (I really need to see if he has been updated)
Scorpion ( see if his moves are safe without misery blade and if his TP is punishable without pushback)

I looked at videos of Sub Zero and put it in a frame by frame program and seen he had 25 frame mix-up and slow as fuck Norms. So I'm expecting it to be changed.

Kitana has a 11 frame advancing mid that has many OS after, one being hit confirmable. She has a 6f D1 with great range and her lowis 13 frames and another mid into mix-up is 11 frames.
I need to see if this changed and her pokes/normals. If he could look at basic moves, first hit, see what startup, active, recovery, on block, on hit and cancel advantage is I'd be very greatful.
 
This legitimately makes zero sense. What's wrong with you?
It made perfect sense in the context I was using. If a stream showed apples and the launch showed oranges, wouldn’t you assume they changed apples to oranges? Wouldn’t you then say oranges were more likely since they changed them from apples? Now, I then realized he meant that the “official tournament variations” they talked about weren’t the same so then it made sense. But what I said was fine and there’s nothing wrong with me.
